Thank you. What I’m trying to get at, Mr. Chair, is to get a sense of where the department sits and has an understanding of what is the actual vacancy rate for commercial real estate in Yellowknife. We are a large tenant, both leased and owned, but I’m trying to get a grasp and I know Public Works is right on the ball on this I’m sure. They know those numbers quite accurately. I need to know, as a Member, what is the vacancy rate now in Yellowknife that we have for information in terms of commercial real estate. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. This will probably be my last opportunity to talk about Highway No. 3. I know Mr. Menicoche thought I was going to say Highway No. 7 but, sorry. Highway No. 3. We know this is a multi-year project. I believe this is part of a bundle that was being funded here through one of the Building Canada Plan projects. But to get a bit more perspective, what should we expect? What is the budget in terms of the completion? Is there a certain target on Highway No. 3 that we’re going to try to complete for this capital budget?

I appreciate the Minister giving the opportunity to explain the current situation. My concern today is still about the risk management and the liability when such an issue is before the House and is discovered. So, can the Minister indicate, what is his department’s formal health advisory protocol, given the seriousness of such a situation? Thank you.

That would be correct, Ms. Bisaro. That would be 48, 49 and 50. Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. For that, we’ll go to Ms. Haener.

Thank you, committee. Sergeant-at-Arms, if you would escort the witnesses in, please.

Minister McLeod, would you be kind enough to introduce your witnesses this evening?

Thank you. Mr. Hawkins.

So, it is safe to say that we don’t know if it has any residual value that we are going to be surplusing and selling it, or are we able to bring it up to another airport or maybe use it as a backup? It sounds like a pretty expensive piece of machinery. I don’t think these units… Maybe age might be an issue. I don’t think these units see a lot of traction time. Again, I am just trying to see how, again, repurposing these very expensive pieces of equipment that have very low hours. Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Ms. Craig.

Thank you. Page 54, court services, infrastructure investments, $867,000. Does committee agree? Ms. Bisaro.
